I am glad gavin allan and pete ryan got a mention in people's post. Both were very underrated.

I considered 3:
Tallis- because his intensity, aggression and competitiveness was infectious and could swing games (i.e THAT TACKLE on hodgson in origin) and i think our team needs an enforcer. However, he would be a penalty magnet and be suspended a lot these days, so i couldnt say tallis.

Carroll- loved the way he played. Legitimate bone rattler that ball runners feared and ran great lines particularly off locky. But my choice would be

Webcke- i think he would have greatest influence on our team as a collective. We have talented youngsters but they need a leader. Ultra consistent, hard trainer that held others accountable and led the team via his actions. His run in the 2006 GF to put locky in field goal range is a perfect example.

So it is webcke for me (or civo who has many the same characteristics)

I don't think those sort of stats exist considering the influx of numbers nowadays only came in vogue the past decade or so. I think they only started individual tackle counts in the 90's. RL has lagged behind statistical wise until just recently.

For me it's Webcke any day of the week, with Civoniceva a close second. I feel like this pack is screaming out for an experienced warhorse to guide them, someone who can settled them down when they get over excited, and inspire them with a big run or hit when needed. Both of these guys just epitomised that for so much of their careers.

Great captain and leader, fast, great step, fend and offload and can also kill it at centre - the perfect back row forward. Aside from which, I reckon our props are good enough now and will only get better.

Well, I did think about Parker for a while however I decided against him in this pack as he was a back rower more than a prop and I really do think Lodge and Haas are that good now and will only get better. I have a lot of time for Lodge and feel he will really come into his own real soon. ANyway, a mix of young and not so young lol
